I own monster turbine pro gold and MDR-XB500.
 
I like how my turbines sound. I prefer warmer sound that they give. I listen to club/hip hop/pop pretty much everything.
 
I narrowed my choices too
 
MDR-1R
 
Sol Republic 1601-30 Master Tracks Over-Ear Headphones (I like how they fit)

Monster Inspiration or dna? I have no idea what's the difference in sound. But I prefer Inspirations
 
akg k545. From reviews I heard that bass is bad so most likely they are out of the equation.

Keep in mind I did not hear any of them. BestBuy only had Sol Republic on display but they did not play any music.

Do Monster still offers lifetime warranty? I have it on my golds

Thank you all!!

I'd go for the K545, but that's only because I'm an anti-bass head (They do have some bass, you're just used to ungodly amounts from your current collection). Maybe try upgrading from XB500's to XB1000's.

I say go for the V-Moda headphones
